go by your guts, it said it all. Don't jump too quickly because someone wanted to trade you their exhaust for your stock one. Honestly looks like an generic exhaust with a silencer. Keep your stock and add a test pipe, it'll be better than whats posted and no rasp and knowing that you have a decently flowing exhaust set-up. On the S2000, the exhaust combinations is one of those you gotta spend time on to get a good sounding S2K because of the nasty rasp. I have a non-resonated SuperSprint exhaust with stock CAT and sounds awesome with no rasp. Took the time messing around and changing from the test pipe then to high flow cat, then finally back to stock CAT. You live in Europe I am certain you have better options than someone having an S2K living in the U.S. Good luck bro!

Don't get excited over the "look" of the exhaust. These are supposed to be functional not merely look good. Experience any aftermarket exhaust inside the car on an extended test drive. I took at least a $100 loss swapping out the excessively loud exhaust folks here assured me was "barely louder than OEM" or "not that loud."
These two exhausts look the same but the Q300 is headache inducing at cruising speeds.
Tanabe Medalion Touring -- a keeper.
Invidia Q300 -- the ear bleed system

I was unable to match the oval Accord exhaust tips with an aftermarket exhaust and, for unknown reasons, prefer the round tips anyway. No worries, the OEM exhaust resides in my shed for the next owner.

The way I see it you have a few options:
1) Uk mod for <100
2) Custom exhaust for ~500
3) Mature name brand exhaust for ~800-1500
You can't go wrong with any if them, it really just depends on how much you're looking to spend.
